Tapping into your own expectations
Living your reality new destinations
Spirit inside you coming out to play
Open the realms new destiny today
Inspired by others you see
Cosmic realms guiding who you'll be
Light within starts to shine
No fear believe it's your time
Inspired by light inside
Guiding the way let it ride
Begin anew no fear to show

Atmosphere unknown so wild
Into the best life your inner child
Strength you've shown it's alive
Feel the thrill you will thrive
Stars align in perfect measure
Finding your own hidden treasure
A story written in the sky
Let your spirit soar and fly
Inspired by light inside
Guiding the way let it ride
Begin anew no fear to show
Journey's start watch it flow

Choose Yourself.
“Believing in myself, although shadows haunt me in the night
As I experience this shift, I allow my wings to take flight. ”
Concrete steps on the sidewalk
Walking away from the shadows
Distending my mind to expand
Towards the light out of the hollows.
Glowing in the sunlight
Taking my spirit through the tides
Life brings me onto solid ground
The light in my heart resides.
The tides of time wash over me
Webs of emotions coming to light
Taking my mind to the other side
Dragging me into the darkness at night.
Holding myself above the waters shores
Washing over me the sun brings a light
The tides of life holding me under
My souls on the edge, my spirit remains bright.
With all my might I stand
On solid ground where life expands
Holding my soul in solidarity
Where dreams collide, I hold my own hands.
Like a storm in the thundering rains
My life begins to erase
Don’t question your destinies in time
Hold yourself high within God's grace.

“Whatever it is, the way you look at things, be inspired by your own vision. ”
🛡️Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you stay strong and empowered when boundaries are drawn.
💪 Step-by-Step Guide: Staying Strong & Empowered with Boundaries
1. Honor Your Why
Ask: “Why did I set this boundary?”
Reconnect with the reason—whether it’s peace, protection, or personal growth.
Let your “why” be your anchor when emotions rise.
2. Name the Discomfort
Boundaries often trigger guilt, fear, or doubt.
Journal: “What emotion is surfacing right now?”
Naming it helps you process it instead of being ruled by it.
3. Affirm Your Worth
Say aloud: “My needs matter. My space is sacred.”
Use empowering affirmations like:
“I am allowed to take up space.”
“I choose myself without apology.”
4. Hold the Line with Grace
You don’t need to explain or defend your boundary endlessly.
Use calm, clear language: “This is what I need right now.”
Repeat if necessary—consistency builds respect.
5. Create a Support Ritual
After enforcing a boundary, do something nurturing:
Take a walk, light a candle, journal, or call a trusted friend.
This reinforces that protecting yourself is an act of love.
6. Expect Pushback—Don’t Personalize It
Others may resist your boundary, especially if they benefited from your lack of one.
Their discomfort is not your responsibility.
Say: “I understand this is hard, but I’m choosing what’s right for me.”
7. Track Your Wins
Keep a “Boundary Victory Log.”
Write down moments you honored your limits.
Celebrate with a small ritual—music, movement, or a mantra.
8. Revisit & Refine
Boundaries evolve. Check in monthly:
“Is this boundary still serving me?”
“Do I need to adjust it based on new growth?”
🧭 Empowerment Mantra:
“I protect my peace, honor my truth, and rise with every boundary I draw.”
Boundaries aren’t walls—they’re bridges to self-respect, clarity, and strength. When you draw them, you’re not pushing people away—you’re pulling your power back in.
